Broadcast Media Guard
IP Media Analysis and Fault Detection
BMG acquires, decodes, and analyzes a wide variety of IP media flows...
Introducing the Broadcast Media Guard (BMG), a revolutionary solution for autonomous IP media service analysis and fault detection. BMG analyzes packet details of each media service and provides precision fault detection in real-time. Constructed for scale, a single BMG can monitor hundreds of services concurrently. Designed with flexibility in mind, BMG can be deployed on COTS hardware, virtual machine, and cloud, eliminating proprietary vendor lock-in.
BMG offers an advance approach to monitoring media services at scale, eliminating expensive display walls and proprietary technology. Its unique features make it an invaluable asset for organizations seeking to enhance their monitoring capabilities and stay ahead of the curve in IP media analysis and management.

Key Features
- Autonomous Fault Detection: quickly identify faults and receive notifications in real-time.
- Bulk Service Monitoring: monitor up to 300+ services concurrently with a single BMG.
- Compliance Monitoring: measure and detect compliance with industry standards and regulations
- NMOS IS-04/IS-05 support for network discovery and patch management
- No Proprietary Hardware Required: software that can be deployed anywhere on COTS hardware or virtual machine
Real-time Analysis and Monitoring
BMG is the 24/7 eyes and ears for your media network. Full-time analysis and monitoring ensure that all high-impact content is delivered at the highest possible quality and is free of errors or disruptions. Event notifications are issued in real time and can be delivered to various external platforms, enabling seamless integration with any workflow.


Tap into multiple networks with a single BMG
Tap into multiple networks using a single BMG. BMGs support multiple high-speed network interfaces, which allows them to access multiple networks. A single BMG, therefore can monitor content from multiple segregated networks without having to bridge networks, helping to maintain proper security boundaries.
Web browser-based user interface
BMG uses a modern web browser-based user interface which simplifies the deployment and management of BMGs across an enterprise. With no client-side application software to worry about, reducing the burden on the support team. From a web browser view all of the media that is actively being analyzed and monitored by the BMG.


Detailed graphical analysis dashboards
After BMG discovers a fault in the media, use its detailed graphical analysis dashboards to dig deeper into the problem. With multiple configurable widgets, review several different properties of analysis at the same time. With up to 30 days of data retention, look back historically at media performance to spot anomalous behavior.
Monitor media from any network and in any format...
